Re: Two Books That Changed Your Life and Why
1) Friendly Persuasion - My Life as a Negotiator, Bob Woolf
This book taught me how much negotiating we do every day of our lives. From big things like job contracts to little things like persuading someone to see the movie you want to see. Plus there were plenty of fun stories from Bob's career including how he became Larry Bird's agent and subsequently, how he dealt with Red Auerbach.
2) Getting the Love You Want, Harville Hendrix
I can't say enough about this book. I had trouble sleeping for months after reading this book the first time. It is a psychology book designed for couples, but it is that and so much more. This book will get you in touch with your childhood and how your childhood influences you as an adult. The most important thing it has taught me is the origin of my strongest feelings. Through understanding I am able to cope with situations far better, mostly by not just 'reacting' to my feelings all the time.
